They might not be interested right now, but i am sure they would appreciate it as they grow older. I believe it is very important to talk to kids about finance in general, sometimes i wish i had some form of financial knowledge when i was younger, i probably would have had more money than i do today. Surely we do not expect the kids to be fully interested when you start the discussion, but as they grow older, the knowledge becomes invaluable to them.

I agree with that. Kids tend to remember things easily because they’re naturally curious. If they hear about Bitcoin at a young age and Bitcoin continues to grow in adoption, they won’t feel new to it when they’re ready to use the network or invest.

It doesn’t really require a specific age, educating them early is even better. However, it should come with the right kind of education, teaching them the true value and purpose of Bitcoin, not making it seem like a ponzi scheme.

The core issue is the right kind of education but most of us just use bitcoin as a form of speculation to make a profit. What are we going to teach them while we are just speculating on bitcoin? Is Bitcoin really important and the only necessary thing that children need to know from a young age?

Honestly, as a father, I don't see any benefit in talking to my kids about bitcoin every day or teaching them about bitcoin too early. At that age, there are more important things that they need to learn. I would not expose my child to speculation or gambling at such a young age.
Exposing children to investing too early will not bring any benefits and can sometimes cause unpredictable consequences. What guarantees that they will only use bitcoin as a savings for the future and not treat it as a gambling to make money and neglect their studies?
